Models come in colors!
In an industry that puts our beauty in a box, Marva Elaine wishes to extend a circle of resources and placement to black & brown models.

Project Description
In a world full of diversity, we are still inundated with one face, one look, one narrative. Marva Elaine is rewriting the story with models of color worldwide!
What is beauty? Marva Elaine answers that age old question with the discovery and development of black and brown models. Beauty is what we make it to be. We don't just emphasize the physical, we meet needs specific to people of color and enhance the soul. We understand the challenges that models face in the fashion and beauty industries, therefore we aggressively advocate for equal opportunity placement in branding.
Our definition colors far beyond the lines of what society deems "beautiful".
The opportunity is global.
There are many types of modeling. It is a profession that lends itself to varying avenues. Most models aim to be represented by an agency to handle their business affairs. To date, there are five key players who currently dominate the market, none of which are black-owned. Put Marva Elaine in the game! Agencies have trended upward over the past five years with the popularity of internet and social media as branding platforms for companies. As the economy recovers from the COVID-19 pandemic, the demand for services will increase as corporate advertising expenditures rise. With the current state of our social climate, the need for faces of color in ad campaigns is already sky rocketing!
Marva Elaine is getting a head start in scouting new talent and preparing them for an influx of work. We seek funding to expand visibility and grow our network to best serve our models and clients. We are a big team of three: Danielle Wright (founder), Christina Bundy (model scout) Kelsey Malia (social media manager). Your support will allow us to market the agency and obtain the resources to successfully increase and manage our client roster.
